" Any good trailer builders on the west coast?"

Mike, Have you checked out Torklift Central in Kent? Everything they do has to do with trailers and they do fabrication.

Hey Mike, is this what you are looking for? Less than 5 minutes to load and head down the road. It is a tilt trailer. The back wheels of the forklift set between 2 square tubes. A chain is...

I am not looking to up production. I am retired so I do it to supplement income. I have about 50 Hives and I extract for local hobbyist and small sideliners. I don't want to hire any help.

I...

I charge 25 cents a lb and I keep the wax. They furnish the buckets. I can extract about 400 to 500 lbs a day with my 20 frame extractor if I push it.

Lauri, Love the Ovation guitars. I have a later model Balladeer LX. What a great surprise by your husband.

I let the honey set over night in 5 gal buckets after extracting. Everything that floats to the top I scoop off with a comb scratcher into a small bucket. I dump what I have scooped off into my wax...

I have been using the BM SAF for 6 years with absolutely no problem. I extract honey from 100 hives plus I do custom extracting for about another hundred hives. Great machine.

Apiguard & Hopguard only kill mites on the bees. This is why you must do 3 treatments of hopguard to get through a complete brood cycle to kill all the mites emerging with the new bees. Hopguard is...

I have NWC Carniolans available.
You can call me @ 253-315-5084. If I don't answer please leave a message, I may be in the field. I am in Kent/Covington area.

Thanks

How can one find out more about this class?

Here is an article from the USDA-ARS that identifies the place of origin of the imported Russian queens. These queens began what we know today as Russian bees here in the USA. The bees that...

Dan Harvey's queens are very good. I have been to his location and he manages a very nice operation. Good honey producers. They will fly in cooler temps under 50 degrees. The bees are a little on...

Serge, If you can't find any the right size and do end up cutting them for the right size, run the edge that you cut off on a grinding wheel to give it a "V" taper and it will fit nicely into the...

As an experiment try this if you notice a variation of size of the larva. Let the bees cap the cells and watch to see if there is any significant difference within the set of cells as to when they...

The last 2 posts hit the nail on the head. Strong hives are a great breeding ground for heavy mite loads. No treatment and your winter bees won't make it through the winter. Here is what happens. ...

Walk away splits can produce poor quality queens but they don't have to. The bees know they must produce an emergency queen when they realize they are queenless. They may start feeding royal jelly...

Here is a picture of a first year DE Hive. I started this hive on April 20 with a 3lb package and this picture was taken around August 15. Everything was started from foundation. The top 3 supers...

I have been using the Central Pnuematic 18G crown stapler from Harbor Freight for about 5 years. Started out using it as a finish nailer to do all the trim in my house. I have stapled frames for...

you sell $400 of honey at the office in an hour.

Great Pictures. I like the second photo. This indicates she wants to keep laying no matter what is going on around her. She has to be a great producer.

CES

She does look very Italian and with the brown leg showing indicates Cordovan line. However her mother could be Carni bred to Italian/Cordovan drones thus your supplier is telling you she is a Carni....

Amazing! I thought I was the only one who rescued the girls. I'm always warming up some cold bee and then put them into the hive. (probably the wrong one) I will even give them something sweet to...

I pay around $12 for 25lb at Costco so it is pretty close to the same price. I would have to make a 50 mile round trip to Sam's Club where as Costco is only two miles away. And the 25lb bags are...

I don't how many hives you are feeding but I find what works for me is getting my sugar from Costco. You could probably buy it from them by the pallet load if you wanted. I think that is about...
